Mariska Hargitay stuns in Cannes after revealing shocking family secret
Mariska Hargitay stunned when she walked the red carpet at the premiere of her documentary, "My Mom Jayne," at the Cannes Film Festival, in an off-the-shoulder dress with a black top and high-waisted sequined red skirt. The actress paired the look with dangling diamond earrings and black opera gloves with a ring on her finger. She styled her hair in big curls in a deep side part, reminiscent of big Hollywood glamour, and went for a more natural makeup look. She posted multiple photos from the evening on Instagram, including some of her posing on the red carpet and holding hands with her husband, actor Peter Hermann, on their way to the premiere. "Absolutely stunning. You look like a dream right out of the 60's, a style perfect for honoring your Mom's story, and yours," one fan wrote in the comments section of one of the posts. Another added, "What a stunning night. Your mom would be so proud." The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star also walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Vie Privée." While posing for photos, the star turned heads in a figure-hugging one-shoulder black dress, with silver and gold beaded embroidery along the entirety of the left side, which culminated at the top with a three-dimensional design on her shoulder. She paired the look with dangly diamond earrings, as well as a few rings and bracelets, choosing to style her hair straight and in a middle part. "Timeless!! More breathtaking with every look," one fan wrote in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring her look for the evening. Another added, "WOW WOW WOW YOU look amazing," while actor Neil Patrick Harris chimed in with "Stunnnnnnning!" Hargitay took no breaks while at the Cannes Film Festival, as she also posed for photos on the red carpet at the amfAR Gala presented by Chopard. She stunned in a form-fitting white dress with a jewel-encrusted halter neckline and a slight train behind her. The actress accessorized with a silver clutch, a statement ring and bracelet, as well as diamond drop earrings. This time around, the actress pulled her hair back in a bun and opted for dramatic eye makeup and pink lips. While at the film festival, Harigtay debuted a documentary she self-produced and directed about her mom, actress Jayne Mansfield, called "My Mom Jayne." Mansfield died in a car accident when Hargitay was three years old. She was then raised by her father, Mickey Hargitay, who, she recently revealed, is not her biological father. She found out in her 20s, her biological father is Las Vegas entertainer Nelson Sardelli. "I grew up where I was supposed to, and I do know that everyone made the best choice for me," she said. "I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter. That is not a lie. This documentary is kind of a love letter to him, because there's no one that I was closer to on this planet." Scarlett Johansson looked ethereal in a flowing strapless purple gown, which featured rouching on the bodice and pieces of fabric, which detached from her torso and flowed to the floor, creating a slight train behind her. The actress paired the dress with a diamond bracelet and a pair of diamond earrings, choosing to style her hair in a slick back bun. She went for a more dramatic makeup look with bold lashes and red lips. While at Cannes, Johansson premiered her directorial debut, "Eleanor the Great," which received a five-minute standing ovation. Nicole Kidman posed for photos in a sleeveless figure-hugging red gown with a high neckline and lace detailing throughout while on the red carpet at the Kering Women in Motion Awards at the Cannes Film Festival. The actress kept her accessories to a minimum and wore her signature straight blonde hair in a middle part. Not only did Kidman look great on the carpet, she was also this year's Kering Women in Motion honoree. While accepting the honor, Kidman pledged to continue working with female directors, as well as female writers, cinematographers and female crew, saying, "You can say you support it, but you actually have to do it." "We need to give women better roles, particularly as they get older. We are here, and we can prove to you that we will make money for you," she said. "Invest in us and believe in us, because our voices are so important. We will help change the world, but we will also give you a glimpse of our hearts and our souls and what it means to be a woman. If you just give us the chance, we are so ready." Lauren Sánchez brought the glamour when she walked the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala during the Cannes Film Festival in a strapless black Dolce & Gabbana dress with a flowing skirt and sequined top. While at the event, Sanchez was honored with the Women Empowerment Award, which was presented to her by actress, Eva Longoria. During her acceptance speech, Sanchez said the night wasn't just about celebrating her, but also "about recognizing our collective ability to light the way for each other." "Empowerment isn't about individual success," she added. "It's about our collective commitment to choosing compassion over judgment, dignity over indifference, and hope over despair." Sánchez also made a splash when she walked the red carpet at the amfAR Gala in a strapless mermaid-inspired gown by Roberto Cavalli, with a corseted bodice, sweetheart neckline and blue and silver sequins all over. She posted photos from the evening on her Instagram, calling the event "A night driven by purpose." "Disney I found the Princess!!!!" one fan wrote in the comments section, while another added, "Wow! Those colors look amazing on you." A third fan chimed in with "Out of this world!!!!" Heidi Klum walked the red carpet at the amfAR Gala at the Cannes Film Festival in a black Yara Shoemaker, which featured a shimmering corseted bodice. The supermodel paired the look with a billowing feather-trimmed shawl which she wrapped around her elbows. Klum let the dress do all the talking, keeping her makeup and accessories to a minimum, and styling her hair in a new shorter cut, parted down the middle. Dakota Johnson posed for photos on the red carpet at the premiere of "Highest 2 Lowest" at the Cannes Film Festival, in a strapless pastel pink Gucci dress with fringe. The actress paired the look with just a pair of silver earrings in the shape of leaves, and wore her hair straight and parted in the middle. Eva Longoria arrived at the premiere of "The Phoenician Scheme" in a shimmering figure-hugging strapless Tamara Ralph Haute Couture dress, with a corseted bodice and a plunging strapless bejeweled neckline. She posted photos of her look on Instagram, captioning the post, "Pretty in pink," and fans were quick to flood the comments section with positivity. "Eva you look Stunning!!" one fan wrote, adding a few heart emojis. Another added, "Jaw dropping gorgeous ma'am," with a third writing, "Eva my queen. Stunning." The "Desperate Housewives" star also walked the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala, where she presented Lauren Sánchez with the Women Empowerment Award. Longoria posed for photos in a strapless black Elie Saab gown, which was decked out in silver beads and sequins from top to bottom. She made some modifications to the dress, changing the skirt from the sheer version seen on the runway to a covered version, in order to abide by the event's dress code, which was changed this year to ban nudity. "Last night was an unforgettable evening at @globalgiftfoundation with @mariarbravo, @laurapausini, @laurenwsanchez, and so many incredible changemakers — all united for a cause that touches lives across the globe," she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos from the evening. Halle Berry looked effortlessly flawless when she walked the red carpet at the premiere of "The Phoenician Scheme" in a white Chanel suit with floral detailing throughout. "Timeless with a twist," Berry captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of her in the outfit. One fan commented, "Can't go wrong with Chanel love the Look," while another added, "Come through with this outfit!" Berry also attended the red carpet for the Kering Women in Motion event at the festival, making a statement in a figure-hugging custom Gucci dress which featured a semi-sheer design and was dripping in sparkles. The actress paired the dress, which featured a halter neckline, with a few rings on each hand, a statement bracelet and subtle dangle earrings, and wore her hair in a short bob. "You are dazzling lady!!!!" one fan wrote in the comments section of her Instagram post featuring photos from the event. Another wrote, "Absolutely marvelous, Darling!" while a third added, "Is there a brand you don't look incredible in?" When walking the red carpet at the Chopard Universe Dinner in Cannes, Berry wore a figure-hugging dark red strapless dress with a corset bodice and a thigh-high slit. "A little red on the Riviera," she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos from the evening. "Forever a queen. We love you!" one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "Your beauty never fades," while a third also wrote, "This oozes old Hollywood glamour."

Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay, 61, shoots husband of 20 years a loving look during rare date night in Cannes
Mariska Hargitay seemed to be inspired by old Hollywood glamor as she attended the annual Foundation for AIDS Research gala in Cannes Thursday night. The actress, 61, who has been at the film festival promoting her documentary My Mom Jayne, about her later mother, blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield. The Law & Order: SVU star stepped out in a stunning white gown with a silver beaded halter neck and a short train from the French fashion house Patou. In keeping with her classic look, the Emmy winner had her thick, chestnut tresses styled in a sleek updo. She chose to let her natural beauty shine out wearing a sensuous smoky eye with a hint of blush and a soft pink lip. Hargitay accessorized with diamond earrings, rings, a bracelet and a purse from gala sponsor Chopard. Sharing the look on social media she thanked her makeup artist Georgi Sandev and hair stylist David von Cannon for their help in making her picture perfect for the fundraiser. Peter Hermann, 57, looked elegant in a black tuxedo and shirt, which highlighted his salt and pepper hair and beard. The couple, who have been married for more than 20 years and share three kids together, seemed like newlyweds, holding hands as they made their way toward the storied Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Sharing a photo of herself and Hermann on social media, Hargitay played off the couple's bridal look tagging the photo with #isaidyes, which many future brides use to announce their engagements. The pair met when Hermann was a guest star on SVU in 2002. Their son August, was born in 2006, and they adopted daughter Amaya and son Andrew, both 13, in 2011. All three kids accompanied their parents to Cannes, but Thursday night was a rare public date night for their mom and dad. Giving a shoutout to charitable organization, Hargitay wrote, 'Thank you @amfarfor the extraordinary work you do in the fight to end the global aids epidemic.' Since it's founding in 1985, 'amfAR has raised more than $920 million in support of its programs and has awarded more than 3,800 grants to research teams worldwide,' according to the organization's website. Hargitay directed and produced the documentary My Mom Jayne. The love letter to her late mother, who died in an automobile accident in 1967, received a four minute standing ovation after it was screened May 17. Deadline's Pete Hammond wrote in his review the film 'includes a very happy ending that just might have you in tears. It is indeed quite a ride, quite a life and quite an extraordinary film.' My Mom Jayne will begin streaming on Max June 27.

Cannes 2025: An emotional screening of My Mom Jayne, and Kristen Stewart's ‘big Cannes energy'
Biggest bombshells from My Mom Jayne When waterproof mascara isn't waterproof enough. Long queues for women's lavatories followed the emotional Cannes screening of My Mom Jayne, Mariska Hargitay's revelatory new documentary concerning her late pin-up mother. The debuting film-maker and CSI legend fought back tears as she introduced a portrait that left most of the audience bawling. Post-screening, Hargitay gathered the audience to tell a story about her husband, Peter Hermann, and her mother's piano. Hundreds of people wanted hugs afterwards. Jayne Mansfield, a Golden Globe winner characterised by Groucho Marx (among others) as 'Hollywood's smartest dumb blonde', was killed, aged 34, in a car crash on June 29th, 1967. Her three-year-old daughter – and future TV goddess – Mariska Hargitay was in the backseat. READ MORE Following the incident, a persistent and gruesome myth emerged claiming that Mansfield had been decapitated. Hargitay's film not only sets the record straight, it reveals some jaw-dropping truths. 1. Mariska Hargitay is not who you think she is For the first time, Hargitay reveals her biological father is not bodybuilder and former Mr Universe Mickey Hargitay, but Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, whom she met in her 30s after discovering their striking resemblance. Sardelli and his two daughters – Mariska's half-sisters – appear in the film. Before the premiere, they all kept the secret for decades. 2. Mariska was nearly left behind in the car wreck Hargitay, only three at the time, was initially missed by rescuers during the 1967 crash that killed her mother. Lodged under the seat with a head injury, she was only discovered after her brother Zoltan awoke in the ambulance and asked where his sister was. 3. Jayne Mansfield was not a dumb blonde Mansfield spoke Spanish, French, Italian and Hungarian. She played the violin and piano on The Ed Sullivan Show. When she attempted to play on The Jack Paar Program, the audience laughed as she tightened her bow and the host cut to commercial break with an order to 'shut up and kiss me'. 4. History repeats: both mother and daughter lost fathers at age three In an eerie parallel, Mansfield was also in the backseat of the fatal car crash that killed her father. Like Mariska, she was three years old at the time of the incident. K-Stew has 'big Cannes energy' The newly married Kristen Stewart arrived on the Croisette in sheer pink Chanel. And that was just her walking-around outfit. K-Stew has a storied history at the festival since her debut at Cannes in 2012 with On the Road. She won much love for her performances in films such as Personal Shopper (2016) and Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), both by Olivier Assayas. She became the first American actor to win a César Award for the latter. In 2018, she participated in the first majority female jury and broke tradition by removing her heels on the red carpet, protesting the festival's unspoken dress code. This year she returns as the director of The Chronology of Water – reviewed below – and was on top form as she discussed casting Imogen Poots as The Chronology of Water's damaged heroine: 'She doesn't have like big t**s or anything, but she seems like she does,' Stewart explained. 'It's like 'big d**k energy,' what is that? She has BTE.' Natalie Portman wins all-time best post-divorce frock Natalie Portman in a Dior dress at the Cannes Film Festival. It took 700 hours to stitch shimmering crystals into black tulle and was the most photographed dress of the festival. Photograph:In 2023, Natalie Portman arrived at the premiere of May December in a recreation of an iconic 1949 Dior gown. She was not wearing a wedding ring amid a swirl of French reports that her choreographer husband, Benjamin Millepied, had had an affair with a 25-year-old influencer. Their divorce was finalised last year, and what better way to mark the occasion than a return to the Croisette in another tribute to mid-20th-century Dior, this time a nod to a 1951 Dior classic, requiring 700 hours to stitch shimmering crystals into black tulle. Dior's Atelier Safrane completed 450 hours of embroidery on the gown, the most photographed dress of the festival. Review: The Chronology of Water Imogen Poots in The Chronology of Water The Chronology of Water Director : Kristen Stewart Cert : None Starring : Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Earl Cave, Kim Gordon, Jim Belushi Running Time : 2 hrs 8 mins Kristen Stewart's ferociously raw directorial debut is this uncompromising, defiantly fragmented adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's trauma memoir. Imogen Poots gives the festival's most emotionally impactful performance as Lidia endures a harrowing journey through incest, addiction and stillbirth. Stewart's film – cowritten with Andy Mingo – is divided into five chapters of fragmented, elliptical memories, arriving in impressionistic waves with a somnambulist voiceover that recalls peak Terrence Malick. Corey C Waters's textured 16mm cinematography and Olivia Neergaard-Holm's brilliant associative edits add to the blur of memories, as the damaged, alcoholic heroine attempts to suppress her father's sexual abuse. Poots plays Yuknavitch from her teens to late adulthood, a device that goes unnoticed under the weight of her performance and the material. While the film can feel repetitive in its portrayal of pain, it rarely lapses into indulgence. Stewart directs with big, bold swings and absolute sincerity, eschewing any levity or irony. Brutal honesty, graphic sex and viscera amplify the idea that this is more of a laceration than a movie. Poots, mirroring the film-maker's bravura script and direction, screams, spits, trembles and bleeds. Neither woman is concerned with your comfort or entertainment. Review: Nouvelle Vague Nouevelle Vague Nouvelle Vague Director : Richard Linklater Cert : None Starring : Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin, Bruno Dreyfürst, Benjamin Clery Running Time : 1 hr 45 mins American iconoclast Richard Linklater returns to Cannes with a joyful new comedy inspired by the haphazard making of Jean-Luc Godard's classic, À Bout de Souffle. It's 1960, and the swaggering, young film critic (essayed by magnetic newcomer Guillaume Marbeck) has watched his Cahiers du Cinéma colleagues – including Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut – diversify into film-making. For film historians, there's a welcome and riotous education in the Texan film-maker's tributary introductions to all participants in the New Wave, whether hailing from the Cahiers du Cinéma backroom to Breathless's end credits. For those who have neither seen À Bout de Souffle nor could pick Robert Bresson out of a police line-up, there's much merriment in the anarchy and Godard's wilfully pretentious pronouncements: 'It's about a boy and girl who use the same words with different meanings,' he tells an exasperated Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and her genial co-star, Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dillon). The film's monochrome visuals and 1:33 aspect ratio pay meticulous tribute to the aesthetic choices of the original, but Linklater is far more interested in querulous personal dynamics and Godard's antics. 'I must have had some bad pizza,' he shrugs to his vein-popping producer, Georges de Beauregard (Bruno Dreyfürsft), having sent everyone home from day eight of an already-delayed micro-budget shoot. Godard simultaneously blazes through the film, demanding only one take of each scene and simultaneously delays production, requiring breaks to allow inspiration to strike. His bemused cinematographer Raoul Coutard (Matthieu Penchinat) invents and amiably shrugs. This film should come with a health warning for producers. Everyone else will have a good time. Review: Die, My Love Jennifer Lawrence in Die My Love Die, My Love Director : Lynne Ramsay Cert : None Starring : Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte Running Time : 1 hr 58 mins Lynne Ramsay's Die, My Love is a hellish dive into post-partum psychosis, anchored by a visceral Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a new mother spiralling somewhere in rural America. Irish interest includes cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, who shot the bad-trip visuals, and playwright Enda Walsh, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ramsay and source novel author, Ariana Harwicz. Opposite Robert Pattinson's sensitive but ineffectual Jackson, Grace escalated from frustrated lust to full-blown psychosis in a film more concerned with mood than narrative clarity. The sustained sense of dread throughout is impressive. Even the skies are ominous. Disturbing and fragmented shots, including Grace in proximity to her family with a knife or shotgun, make for distressing moments. This isn't just a postpartum issue. Grace behaves like an animal from the get-go, prowling on all fours in carnal scenes. Later, she takes a barking territorial dislike to the puppy her partner brings home, claws at bathroom wallpaper like a cat, and sticks her tongue out at an unfortunate deer trophy. She masturbates in plain sight and fantasises about a passing local (LaKeith Stanfield), before her violent, feral intensity ruins social gatherings and family drives in a mirage of colliding images. Aural effects – flies buzzing, the baby crying, horse shrieking and distorted musical earworms – add to overall discomfort. Die, My Love evokes the suffocating weight of new motherhood. Its theatricality, however, almost overshadows emotional considerations. Ramsay, on his fifth uncompromising feature, delivers bold cinema. Lawrence – revisiting the madness of Mother! – is wholly committed. The results cast a queasy, oppressive, lust-fever spell, but with nothing like narrative progression or variation. The viewer – like Grace – is intentionally trapped in endless, apocalyptic horrors.
